Instructions For A Heatwave by Maggie o' Farrell has been in my to be read pile for ages. I read The Hand That First Held Mine several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's July 1976. In London, it hasn't rained for months, gardens are filled with aphids, water comes from a standpipe, and Robert Riordan tells his wife Gretta that he's going round the corner to buy a newspaper. He doesn't come back. The search for Robert brings Gretta's children - two estranged sisters and a brother on the brink of divorce - back home, each wih different ideas as to where their father might have gone. None of them suspects that their mother might have an explanation that even now she cannot share.

Instructions for a Heatwave sounds intriguing, I wonder where the dad went! Happy reading!
I just finished "Me before you." It was a fine, fast read about euthanasia. I think it rate it 2 or 3 out of 5.
On to A Sense of an Ending next.
